I was waiting for glue on my current bow and decided that I should make another bow while waiting. So I made this yesterday from some scraps of juniper i have from my other bow I'm making. Its about 16" long and pull nearly 10#! What do you all think?

Very cute. I think you're ready to go "grizzly mouse" hunting.

haha well I'm working on my big juniper bow. And it only took me a couple hours. You should see it shoot its crazy fast! I use shishkabobs as arrows
think that'd kill one? ha

Now just scale that effort up 3 or so times and you'll be set!

Cool little bow, Colt. Everyone should try these little bows. Same principal as the big ones but you can use scraps. That bow pulling 10# should shoot a bamboo skewer quite a distance.

Very nice. Can I borrow it? I spotted a mouse in the garage yesterday. Plan to wrap the handle? Tip overlays would be cool, too. Then you have to make a tiny quiver, and fletch tiny bamboo skewer arrows. Then forge tiny arrowheads, and it never ends.

It shoots those little skewers surprisingly fast! I was shocked the first time I shot it. Sticks it to cardboard and everything
haha If you sharpened up the arrows it would easily stick a mouse.

very cool "little" bow
but i think it needs to bend a liitle more in the fades and the outer limbs look a little stiff too.
but still very sweet
